Well, I may have to. I don't think it handled the transplant so well. I cut it back a ways to help, but we'll see...

There are certainly worse things to be called! Perhaps it is because I grew up around fruit trees. They pretty much just gave us fruit without much work on our part. Let's see what happens when they get amped up on fish water!

It looks like the morenga is bouncing back! I just noticed some new shoots starting to grow out of it. It is always scary when you cut back plants severely.

Thank you JT. It is good to hear that morenga can be cut way back. The woman that sold it to us said to cut it back and use the leaves and stem. I bet she knew that it would reduce the transplant shock, but hadn't told us that that was the reason. All of its leaves had wilted and branches sagged. We were worried. But it is bouncing back.
JW, thanks for the compliment. It was a bit of work, but worth it. It is funny when I tell people how much stuff I am growing. They ask how much space it takes and I respond "Oh, just on my back patio." Then they ask "The whole patio?" "No, just a little bit of it." Of course if I had the space you Texans enjoy, I would be building something the size of Helomech's system.

Sometimes things need to marinate on paper for a while. It just makes it that much better when you build it!

Last night I added some supports for the vineing plants. I strung garden wire from my eaves to my fence.
